Captain Bayley's Heir

Fifteen-year-old Harry Holl sat in a wheeled box near his mother's wash-tub, his legs disabled since a childhood cart accident. Wheels and crutches carry me through known ground, but the street still decides which emergencies I can enter with my own body. You step into this one-chapter preview with Evan Holl at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. Evening quiet returned while the school still did not know which household had sent Evan. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
